Purchased an Arai helmet for my son today and very happy with the experience. Chad and Craig are both friendly and professional and take the time to answer all of your questions. Chad’s extensive knowledge of racing safety equipment is beyond impressive and I gained a lot of valuable information. I highly recommend Sube Sports.

Chad is very knowledgeable and a great person to talk to. His experience and knowledge of the product is very helpful. If you need to stop in a store to pick some new racing gear then this is a place you can get quality stuff. Craig was helpful with looking up on what's available and also help with best direction to get anything. All around always a great experience.

I came in on a random week day afternoon to check out their selection of Racing Seats for my car.
Craig was there immediately to greet me and showed me the different products I was considering. Without any pressure at all to sell any particular brand, I realized that my original choice wasn't actually the most optimal for my needs.
I really appreciate their service, advice, and selection. I'm already excited and will be back for my setup soon.

Bought the Cobra Daytonas (2) at full price + paid extra for the polished billet. I really liked them a lot. But the foam started dry rotting after a few years
- always foam particles on floor mat under front of seat. Then the black cloth material came loose from my seats had a wrinkled fabric look. Gee, I know, they were10-12 years old but - shouldn't they last longer? I could be wrong - but I did have $1500 invested. So, take them to get recovered but in leather, came out beautiful but had to recut/shape all new foam, what it came with just disintegrated. So I hope top shelf foam & adhesive

Purchased some fireproof fia rated sparco long Johns as a quick fix to needing a 5 layer suit for my 1 layer sparco suit. Was able to get the clothes all in time for our race alone with some puma fireproof socks. All the clothes are very cooling in a hot race car. Highly recommended and knowledgeable service. I went back and got full sets for my other two drivers. They have a great inventory of the latest safety equipment and a wide selection of lightweight carbon racing seats. I have a new Audi race car now that I'm looking for a single carbon seat and will be going back soon to make a purchase

Chad Demarco the owner is probably one of the most knowledgeable people in the racing industry. He is well educated and was even a Subaru Rallye driver. I purchased about $2000 in total parts from him and my dad bought me a seat from him as well. When I purchased a $300 quick release from him that didn't end up working out he agreed to return it for me. During the time of the return he said all checked out and I could get credit back because he knew I still needed harnesses. When I told him I had purchased the harnesses already he flipped out and got angry saying I was taking business from him

I found Sube sports last year and looked at their race suits but wasn't ready to buy. They gave me great service and helped me with my sizing. I went back in yesterday 5/26/2020 and Chad the owner helped me with a new race suit, gloves, shoes and accessories. Very very helpful and professional. His knowledge about safety is amazing. Thank you Chad for taking the time to review my needs and get exactly what I needed.
I will be back for more items for my cars and safety equipment.

Hilarious! I wrote a review on November 24, 2015 and was never contacted about my poor service. Recently, on February 20, 2020 (4 years 3 months later!!!) I received a notification that my review got a response! When I looked at the response, the owner, Chad, never even addressed my personal concerns! Upon further review of other Yelp reviews, Chad also copied my response to Vic Z.'s 1-star review over his negative return experience. I thought I was being fair with my 3-star.
Well, here you go Chad.
-1 for taking over FOUR years to respond and failing to connect with your customer

I've only visited Sube sports twice and thank goodness for it because I spend a lot of money whenever I visit However, in both those times I was helped make proper and safe decisions about the apparel I will be wearing while racing. Even got a sweet deal on Puma gloves which were originally out of my price range!!

I came here to get a fire suit, gloves, and a helmet. They are very knowledgeable and provided me various options and the cost and benefits of each. No pressure sales, they give you all the information so that you can make the right decision that fits for you. Highly recommended, the people here are extremely helpful. I will definitely continue to comeback here!

Bought a TERRATRIP from this company. worked for one use and then failed. called Sube to get service/support, they said had to deal with TERRATRIP directly. after months and many emails and the cost to ship product back to England, TERRATRIP still has not fixed. do not buy from a company that service is to refer you to the original manufacturer/factory and a manufacturer/factory that does not deal with the public.

I had an upcoming navigational rally and was in search of a Terra-Trip to instal in my car. Sube Sport is one of two distributors of this product in the U.S. and were close to me so I called in to get some information in regards to the product. I spoke to Ashley who was very professional, courteous, and didn't mind taking a few minutes to walk me through the different variations of the product and the necessary supporting hardware. I placed my order through their website, received everything as promised and I especially liked that the expensive equipment was packaged for shipping with care

I went into the store looking to purchase an Arai helmet but was stuck on my decision between the GP-6 and the GP-5W. The salesman took the time to answer all my questions and helped me decide on the helmet I needed as opposed to the helmet I wanted. He also helped me through the process of trying on helmets to determine what size was best for me by performing various tests. In the end, he saved me about $150 by convincing me that the GP-5W was a better helmet for my needs (even though the GP-6 does look way cooler). I definitely recommend this store for any racing products that you may need

Ordered a gift from these guys and they REFUSED to ship to the gift address.(unless I sent them photo copies of my credit card and drivers license front and back? who ever heard of that? meantime they already HAD my drivers license number) They sited some odd obscure rule the no other on line merchant seems to have ever heard of. Apparently they will ONLY ship to your billing address...but that is not the worst of it....
They charged my VISA credit card ANYWAY in violation of the credit card agreement with VISA. Still haven't gotten a refund 6 days later and Ashley tells me I&apos

Sube Sports is one of the few places that I could find local to OC that carries automotive helmets as opposed to motorcycle helmets (and yes, they are different). I only came by for a helmet, but they also sell gloves, seats, and suits if that's what you need.
The sales experience was interesting. The guy was very neutral, almost deadpan, like he didn't really care if I bought anything, but on the flipside, that meant there was no pressure whatsoever, and no annoying sales pitch. I asked for his thoughts about one helmet vs another, he gave it, and was overall very helpful.
Anyway
